Weighing in tonight
I weigh in tonight and I'm a bit nervous about it. I gained 1.8 last week and I figured it was water weight but TOM is still lingering and hasn't truly happened yet, so I'm afraid I'll have another problem weigh in.
I need to stop weighing or worrying during the week.
Yesterday I was in all day meetings with part of my team. I did well with the snacks - allowed myself a half a bagel and a half an ounce of cream cheese. It satisfied my craving from the smell of the bagel and I felt good about it. Instead of the pizza ordered in for lunch I went to the cafeteria and got the Lighter Fare of grilled chicken breast, wild rice and an amazing bean and cucumber salad made with no oil (it's my new fav and I've made sure the cook knows).
Dinner was a bit more challenging as we went out for Mexican. Thank goodness for weight loss boards and ideas from people everywhere! I ended up having chicken/beef combo fajitas and had them hold the guac and sour cream. I used all the salsa, added lime juice and only took a forkful of the cheese before sending the cheese dish back to the kitchen. I did have 3 of the corn tortillas - I needed that. Avoided the drinks and stuck with water and truly enjoyed myself.
Tonight I'm skipping the team dinner for weigh in. I won't be able to skip dinners at the end of Feb when I'm hosting the worldwide team, so I figured I'd skip out on this one as my trade off. I'm making choices for me.
Good news is that I can no longer wear my Chico's size 3.5 jeans. They were always a little loose, but even with a belt they look a bit funny. I'm wearing size 3 now (gotta love Chico's just for their sizing). My biggest goal is to fit back into my 2.5 jeans and my size 3 slacks. THAT would feel good.
Cross your fingers. Do your ritual stuff. Whatever you can to support me in this weigh in tonight. I'll report back tomorrow.
